2. TO THAW BLOOD PRODUCTS
2.1 Place the unit on a flat, sturdy surface.
2.2 Fill bath with water up to the slotted line on the front of the
stainless steel shroud. This level will ensure proper thawing
operation. No bags should be in the bath and the unit should
be placed in the down position when filling the bath.
Check water level daily. If the water level is too low, the
GENESIS 2002/2006 low water level sensing switch will
make the unit inoperable (when the unit is plugged into the
power supply). An alarm will sound and the ADD WATER
5
indicator will light. To correct this situation, fill bath with
water as explained above.
TM
Add 2 ml of LABath CLEAN
each time the water is
changed to control bacterial and algae growth. The bath
cleaning agent also helps to prevent the formation of turbidity
and odor.
2.3 Plug the device into a 115 volt AC outlet. For GENESIS
2002, a dedicated 10 Ampere outlet is needed. For the
GENESIS 2006, a dedicated 15 Ampere outlet is needed.
The outlet must be properly grounded.
IMPORTANT : DO NOT use sharp instruments (pen,
pencil, etc.) on the key pad area - it will cause damage
to the instrument.
2.4 Turn on the POWER SWITCH on the left panel.
2.5 Start the unit by pressing the POWER key located on the
control panel.
a. The default SET TEMP is 37 °C. When switching on the unit
this temperature will be displayed in the SET TEMP window,
as the desired temperature, along with the actual WATER
TEMP of the bath. The bag timers will display zeros.
b. If the water temperature is less than the set temperature
(37 °C) then heating of the water will begin automatically the HEAT indicator will light. In addition, the HEATING
indicator will light, indicating the heater is drawing power.
When the bath water reaches the set temperature, HEATING
indicator will go off. When the bath water cools, HEATING
indicator will go on again, indicating water is being heated.
This cycle continues, ensuring accurate water temperature.

bath is ready to be used for thawing.
d. Place the frozen product in slot marked 1 on the Plasma Bag
Holder.
It is recommended that frozen plasma be placed into a plasma
overwrap thawing bag. This should prevent plasma from
getting into the bath, should the bag be cracked or damaged
and protect the device from damage. After placing frozen
plasma into the plasma thawing bag, eliminate all air from
bag, twist top of the bag and loop it through the Plasma Bag
Holder so it is secure.
For additional overwrap thawing bags, call
GenesisBPS, LLC.
It is important to remove the excess air. Place the
weight(s) provided into the plasma bag(s) to ensure that the
frozen plasma remains submerged in the water.
e. Press the START/CHANGE key for the selected bag location.
The timer will start it’s count down while the unit is thawing
the plasma. Default timing is 14 minutes for the GENESIS

time has elapsed an alarm will sound, signaling that the
frozen product should now be thawed.
Depending on volume of plasma, the thickness of the plasma
thawing bag and storage temperature of product to be thawed,
7
thawing time may vary. The amount of air left in the plasma
thawing bag during thawing will also affect thawing time.
The laboratory personnel can set the desired thawing time for
each unit to be thawed. They do not have to all be set for the
same thaw time.
f. To change the default TIMER :
Press the START/CHANGE key for the selected bag location,
then press the numeric key pad for the desired minutes. All
keys must be pressed within 5 seconds of each other. Minutes
must be between 1 and 99.

will stop the rocking motion.
NOTE : If the water spills over the top of the bath when
rocking motion begins, stop the bath from rocking and
remove a small amount of water.
h. To thaw an additional bag, place it in slot 2, 3, etc. Adjust
the timer as required, follow instructions in Section 2.5-f
above.
The product should be thawed when an audible signal is
heard and the respective BAG TIMER is at zero. Remove the
product from that slot location, check the bag contents to
ensure that it is completely thawed. If additional thawing is
required, return the bag to the holder and set timer for the
desired thaw time.
